Thank you all for your kind words about and interest in my new book, “Frankie & Bobby: Growing Up Zappa.” It is now ready for pre-publication orders here on my web site and it is currently in production. It has been a long journey for me personally, and I hope you will enjoy reading about how Frank and I grew up and how we lived through a series of life-altering events.

My purpose in writing this book is to add my memories, thoughts, and experiences to the enormous body of information about Frank. The one difference is that what I have to contribute may help explain how Frank got to be the amazingly talented and highly intelligent person that the world has come to know. I have written about the times and circumstances that gave Frank the resolve that enabled him to grow intellectually, psychologically, and creatively. My book has stories that no other book has, including his autobiography.

If you thought you knew Frank from other sources, you will find that this book provides a new dimension to his unique personality. I hope you enjoy reading it.”
